Theraband Neck Stretch

This neck stretch is very effective because it relies on the band to do the stretch for you and helps prevents you from straining the neck by over stretching. The intensity of the stretch is determined by the colour of the band used.

Start by doing a warm up with a few shoulder rolls in both directions.

Then hold each position as shown:

1) Ear to shoulder

2) Looking to the right and left (only turn until neck rotation stops, don't force it)

3) Nod the head forward and to 45 degrees

Hold each position for the amount of time instructed (usually 30-45 secs)

Note the postural position. Chest up and shin in.
